My Sim's dorm mates are so miserable! [DU]

Well, school is sucks.

I'd be depressed too.

My sims roommate cries every night....same.

Sounds true to life.

??????
Maybe offer them hugs? Lol that's why I keep saying it would be nice to have different ways of comforting sad sims.

If you’re a Spellcaster, you can maybe give them a potion to make them feel better? Or if you have parenthood, discuss bad mood? I’ve never tried these ?

Mine are always miserable because they're always peeing themselves or covered in filth.

Yes. I'm so glad it's not just my game.
Mine are always moping around too. Head down, sad faces and listed as sad when you talk to them. It's only my roomies and largely when they at the dorm too rather than say in the common areas or pub etc.

This must be a bug and it's really irritating.

I did some investigating. I right clicked them and added them to the family to see their moodlets. None of them were sad ( even though they were appearing as sad when chatting to them). Indeed, one had 4 happy buffs and the other was fine.

I'm playing in Drake Hall at UoB. It's a boys only dorm. Anyone else seeing this elsewhere?

My sim’s roommate is this way, it’s pretty funny to be honest. She tries to get her out often With a couple of other friends to help cheer her up. My sim is such a good friend. <3

That's interesting. I have played more than a Sim week in a dorm and I have not seen misery to that extent yet. Sometimes a couple of them do the gloomy walk for a while and there is always a filthy one, but there is mostly a lot of eating, sleeping, dancing and socializing. I have not seen anyone cry so far in the dorm.

Just to add, I did alter the dorm slightly before my Sim moved in. I added a kitchen with a good, proper fridge and the best microwave. And I regularly drag the food the roommates bring home into the fridge. I don't know if that would affect their emotional state though.

This is happening to me too. I dont mind it much other than the dorm being generally filthy from everyone wetting themselves and not cleaning the bathroom. There was a point though where 2 dorm mates died of hunger and the grim reaper just stood around for 2 days... It wouldnt let me leave the lot until I debugged the two dead sims which were immediantly replaced with 2 new sims.
